RPM (a recursive acronym for RPM Package Manager) is a free and open-source package management system for Linux. Although it was originally created for use in Red Hat Linux, now it is used in many Linux distributions such as CentOS, Fedora, and OpenSuse. Importantly, the name RPM refers to the package manager program and the .rpm is a file format.
